Orange Coral

Ramariopsis crocea

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Orange Coral faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to forest fragmentation and logging activities that alter the microclimate conditions essential for its growth. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting temperature and moisture patterns that affect the delicate balance required for fruiting body development. Pollution from agricultural runoff and atmospheric deposition may be compromising the soil chemistry in its woodland habitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

Orange Coral typically grows in deciduous and mixed woodlands, particularly favoring areas with rich, well-drained soils and moderate moisture levels. It forms small clusters on the forest floor among leaf litter and decaying organic matter, often in association with specific tree species.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Orange Coral classified as Vulnerable?
Orange Coral is classified as Vulnerable because the population is declining and the species faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term future if current pressures continue. Orange Coral faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to forest fragmentation and logging activities that alter the microclimate conditions essential for its growth. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting temperature and moisture patterns that affect the delicate balance required for fruiting body development. Pollution from agricultural runoff and atmospheric deposition may be compromising the soil chemistry in its woodland habitats.
Where does Orange Coral live?
Orange Coral occurs in Åland Islands, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bhutan, and Brazil (plus 35 other countries). Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Orange Coral?
The main threats to Orange Coral are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
